  • Höhere Funkleistung soll Breitband-Internet in britische Dörfer bringen

    Die britische Telekommunikations-Regulierungsbehörde Ofcom hat vorgeschlagen, in Funknetzen höhere Sendeleistungen für bestimmte Anwendungen zu erlauben. Die Studie der Behörde (PDF-Datei) untersucht die Möglichkeiten wie das Funkspektrum besser ausgenutzt werden kann. Neben dem wirtschaftlichen Aspekt sehen die Autoren auch neue Möglichkeiten für die Breitband-Versorgung ländlicher Gebiete, die nicht an das kabelgebundene DSL-Netz angebunden sind. Die Überlegungen der Behörde beziehen sich nicht auf WLAN-Techniken, sondern auf den so genannten Wireless Broadband Access (WBA), der Breitband-Internet-Zugänge möglich macht.

    Topography of a hilly state like Himachal Pradesh has always proved a deterrent for hassle-free flow of communication. Some of the Points of Presence here are located at heights of 14,000 feet plus and perhaps that is the reason the state government had been keenly pursuing the project of linking far-flung areas through the SWAN.

They need an outdoor WLAN solution that excels in the unique attributes of wireless mesh technology, effectively supports today’s networking requirements, and lays the foundation for the integration of business applications.

  • India: WiMaximum advantage

    Telecommunications services are universally acknowledged for their role in the socio-economic transformation of a country. Studies show that a 2 per cent growth in teledensity is associated with a 3 per cent growth in economic development through significant growth of economic activities like eHealth, eGovernance and eEducation.

    As a nation, we face a major challenge — the bulk of our population is on the wrong side of the Digital Divide. Despite significant gains, telecom penetration is a meagre 2 per cent in rural India and data connectivity is practically non-existent. Internet connectivity, though growing, is still low. India has just about seven million Internet subscribers of whom only 1.3 million have access to broadband connections, way below the target of 20 million set for 2010.

  • Indian states take flight with SWANs
